SuperbDeadbolts look superb with door levers. Fast shipment and not the same thing everyone else has. Would definitely use these again.

Excellent product and delivered fast!Easy transaction, fast delivery. High quality construction and precision made parts for a smooth operation. Following the instructions, it was a simple process to install.. These locks are made to high standard and you can tell by the precision parts and solid construction. One thing to note to buyers that isn't mentioned. You will probably need a small sharp wood chisel for the strike plate and the latch. This is because this product is shipped with a stronger heavier gauge metal that is slightly thicker and can cause the door to rub. Its a quick easy fix with a sharp wood chisel and small hammer. Even something as simple as the strike plate screws are made better and stronger. I ordered about a dozen different knobs and latches and there was one small item that was mixed up in shipping but one phone call and it was fixed immediately and cost me nothing.

Good but overpriced.I needed a deadbolt that was actually black (as opposed to oil rubbed bronze), so this was about my only choice. The smartkey feature is pretty cool and easy to use, although I didn't really need it. The key it came with was a little hard to turn in the lock, but I set the lock to use another key and it works better. I needed longer screws and spindle for my thicker door, which arrived a couple of days after I called the number in the instructions. I'm pretty happy with it so far, but I wish it were half the price.
